Postscript might be a solution? As far as I know that is a vector format? (I could be wrong, however)
PostScript and PDF are related vector file formats that allow bitmaps to be embedded, just like SVG (not surprising as Adobe, the creator of PostScript and PDF, was heavily involved with SVG before they bought Flash). PostScript is a full-fledged computer programming language. Adobe realized that few people actually used the programming part so they stripped that out (it required a large amount of resources to run), made some other modifications (i.e. per page compression) and released the result as PDF.
Inkscape can import and export both PostScript and PDF.
